Question No. 23: Here or in another place, any person living in this household??
With this question we want to know if any member of the household is engaged in agriculture or livestock activities, whether at a home orchard or at an agricultural and livestock exploitation. Agricultural and livestock exploitation and home orchards are defined as follows:
Agricultural and livestock exploitation: any area of land used wholly or partly for agricultural, livestock and forestry, regardless of title, size, or location, by a producer and the members of her household. However, if a member of a producer's household works a separate field, this last is treated as a separate exploitation unit and may consist of one or more farms. Several farms and land areas form together a unit of exploitation, provided they are located in the same district.
Home orchards: are those land extensions less than 50 square meters, a large percentage of them are in semi-urban areas of the country. They are either extensions or land or square meters of courtyards of houses where, generally, persons plant tubers and fruit trees and raise some pets.
